	At the high resolution powder diffraction end station of the Materials Science and Powder Diffraction (MSPD) beamline at ALBA Synchrotron, several samples are measured on a daily basis. Thus, an automatic sample exchanger is a great asset to the beamline, permitting a more efficient use of beam time. Even if a robot arm is the more suitable option for a sample exchanger device, in terms of cost, compactness and versatility MSPD needs another approach. ALBA engineering division has developed a multi-sample holder that allows the loading of up to eight samples and exchanging between them with a resolution of less than a micron. This new design consists of a customized and motorized linear stage that has been designed to fit into the present three-circles diffractometer, on top of the positioning stages, avoiding any possible collision with the Eulerian cradle. In addition, this new holder permits the use of different types of samples like capillaries in fast spinners, coin cell batteries and electrochemical cells. Finally, the system is compatible with the usual sample conditioning equipment on the end station such as the hot blower, cryostream, beamstop, chiller, etc.

At the high resolution powder diffraction end station of the Materials Science and Powder Diffraction (MSPD) beamline at ALBA Synchrotron, several samples are measured on a daily basis. Thus, an automatic sample exchanger is a great asset to the beamline, permitting a more efficient use of beam time. Even if a robot arm is the more suitable option for a sample exchanger device, in terms of cost, compactness and versatility MSPD needs another approach. ALBA engineering division has developed a multi-sample holder that allows the loading of up to eight samples and exchanging between them with a resolution of less than a micron. This new design consists of a customized and motorized linear stage that has been designed to fit into the present three-circles diffractometer, on top of the positioning stages, avoiding any possible collision with the Eulerian cradle. In addition, this new holder permits the use of different types of samples like capillaries in fast spinners, coin cell batteries and electrochemical cells. Finally, the system is compatible with the usual sample conditioning equipment on the end station such as the hot blower, cryostream, beamstop, chiller, etc.
